A word about MADE IN CHINA knives

Sadly, we do not buy knives made in China, Taiwan, or Pakistan. Many AMERICAN knife makers made the huge mistake of firing American workers and outsourcing their manufacturing to communist China. Too bad for them, the quality of China-made knives was horrible, and nobody wanted them. Now they are a scourge on the market. Huge quantities of worthless MADE IN CHINA knives are on the market, and no real collector buys them. You can always tell if your knife is made in China because the word CHINA will either be on the box or on the knife itself somewhere (usually on the blade). WE DO NOT BUY CHINA KNIVES!

REPEAT: WE DO NOT BUY MADE IN CHINA KNIVES. Nor Taiwan. Nor Pakistan.


Which knives are worth money?

Every American-made knife has SOME value, and some can be worth a fortune. But, like a winning lottery ticket, they are very, very rare.

Remember, we make a market in all American-made knives. Here is a list of some of our most wanted to help you learn which are worth money.
